Environment Variables

How It Works

Unlike instant-response APIs, this MCP models real-world HVAC procurement:

1. RFQ Submission: Sends email requests to distributors (mocked by default)

2. Async Response: Distributors respond in 24-48 hours (simulate for testing)

3. Quote Comparison: Compare received quotes for best value
